Wednesday was a difficult day for The American Independent News Network, which is the larger entity that operates The Iowa Independent. Our chief executive and founder announced two of our sister sites would close and their content would be moved to The American Independent.
A recently introduced bill could have far-reaching impact on the U.S. sugar industry, including American Crystal Sugar, a farmer-owned cooperative that locked out 1,300 Midwest workers on Aug. 1.
The chairman for Herman Cain’s Iowa effort says the campaign “relied more on the word of farmers than Washington regulators” in deciding to run an ad containing claims the Environmental Protection Agency says are false.
The Iowa Senate will remain under the control of a slim 26-25 Democratic majority when it reconvenes in January 2012.
Same-sex marriage will cause far more damage to Iowa than last year’s historic flooding, according to Eric Schumacher, pastor of Northbrook Baptist Church in Cedar Rapids.
Schumacher, in a column written for the Baptist Press, said that even though floods destroy houses, ruin offices buildings and displace families, recovery is still possible. Same-sex marriage, on the other hand, “does far more pervasive and irrecoverable damage.” Eventually, civilization is eroded and a “blasphemous message” becomes the norm.
Floodwaters erode the soil. “Gay marriage” erodes the soul. A flood impacts for a decade. “Same-sex marriage” destroys generations. A flood draws a community together. “Homosexual marriage” tears the family apart. Communities recover from floods. The promotion of un-natural unions has an eternal consequence.
